PARAMUS, N.J. — One Bergen County Healthcare campus is about to become a one-stop shop for families juggling kids, aging parents and their own health.

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center and Bergen County broke ground this week on a new facility that will bring childcare, community doctors and a major senior-care program under one roof.

The facility, expected to open in 2027, will include the future Bergen County Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, known as PACE.

PACE is designed for adults 55 and older who need a nursing-home level of care but can safely remain in their homes with support. The program combines medical care, social services, rehabilitation, nutrition, transportation and other services.

That means a family could have a child in the campus childcare program while an aging parent receives care through PACE and another family member sees a community physician.

“As New Jersey’s largest hospital and largest licensed nursing home, we see every day how much families are juggling, often raising children and caring for aging parents while trying to keep up with their own health,” Bergen New Bridge President and CEO Deborah Visconi said.

The project is a partnership between Bergen New Bridge, Bergen County and WelbeHealth, which will operate the Bergen County PACE program.

County Executive Jim Tedesco said the facility is designed to serve Bergen County families “across generations,” while helping older residents remain healthy and independent and providing childcare for people who care for Bergen County residents.

The new building is part of Bergen County’s broader push to expand PACE services. New Jersey announced earlier this year that PACE funding had been expanded to all 21 counties, with WelbeHealth selected to develop the Bergen County center in Paramus.

For Bergen families, the pitch is simple: less running around, more care in one place.
